Finca Santa Irene is a protected natural forest reserve of 129 hectares in the Cobán region of Guatemala, owned by the Estrada family. In 2012, Carlos Estrada — son of the farm's founder Dr. Jacinto Estrada Zanabria — began cultivating 15 hectares of this land for specialty coffee.

Carlos planted the farm with intention. Alongside Catuaí and Geisha, he introduced Bourbon Sidra — a rare variety originating in Ecuador — and has been refining how to grow and process it ever since. He recently invested in a glass greenhouse specifically for drying, giving him greater control over temperature and airflow throughout the drying process.

Every cherry is picked selectively. Before harvest, brix levels are measured across parcels to identify exactly when fruit is at peak sugar content — between 18 and 22 degrees — ensuring only ripe cherries are picked. The coffee is then sorted, weighed and processed the same day.

The farm sits at 1,740 masl — higher than the regional average — under the shade of Inga trees, on limestone and clay soil. Cobán's relentless chipi-chipi mist shapes everything here: the staggered flowering season, the slow development of the cherry, and ultimately the quiet complexity in the cup.

Carlos is not a farmer who follows convention. He experiments with process, invests in infrastructure, and measures obsessively. This lot is the result of that.

FAQ

Why do you only have Guatemalan coffees? Will you have any other origins in the future?

For now we only offer single-origin Guatemalan varietals because of the long lasting relationships we have built with farmers in Guatemala. Alex, our founder, previously worked alongside her mum and sis sourcing some of Guatemala’s finest coffee beans with amazing producers across the country. Today we still get to collab with the family through Coffee Bird and deliver you the best of Guatemala, right to your door. 

Where does the coffee come from? 

We work directly with farmers through Coffee Bird so there’s no middle man, no funny business, no shady contracts. The wellbeing of these farmers is our main priority, high-quality coffee follows.

I've heard a lot of talk about water, does this really make a difference?

Brewing with water means your morning cup is 98% water. We wouldn’t want the gap to fall from perfectly roasted beans, to a not-so-great cup of coffee. We recommend using filtered water instead of straight from the tap to minimise harshness in your cup.

How should I store my coffee?

Keep whole beans sealed in its bag or in an airtight container and grind only the amount you’ll be using right before you brew.
